Tonight.
On TG4 at 9.30pm.
RTÉ’s Legal Affairs Correspondent Orla O’Donnell will present the story of Amy Dunne on Finné.
Amy became pregnant when she was 16 and took the State to court as she wanted to travel to the United Kingdom for an abortion after learning her foetus had anencephaly.
Amy spoke to Seán O’Rourke on RTÉ Radio One this morning (top) and her interview can be watched back in full here.
Tomorrow night.
On the Finné documentary strand on TG4.
George Stagg looks back at the government’s bizarre role in the funeral of his brother hunger striker Frank Stagg.
Frank died in 1976 after a 62-day hunger strike in Wakefield prison in Yorkshire, England where he had been serving a ten year sentence for a Republican-related arson.
His coffin was taken from the family at Shannon Airport to avoid a ‘military-style’ funeral prompting an Irish Army presence (top) and Garda baton charges at a subsequent ceremony in Leigue Cemetery in Ballina, County Mayo.
Finné on TG4 tomorrow at 9.30pm.
Thanks Paddy Hayes
